Sharing in Story

Sharing our stories is one of the greatest ways we connect with one another.

As Pam Faro, international storyteller states: ‘Except perhaps for touch, storytelling, story listening and story experiencing is the most basic form of human communication.’

She goes on to say: ‘Storytelling is experience. When people experience story together, it can connect across multitudes of boundaries like nothing can.’

On Friday 24th October Pam Faro, together with well known and much loved local singer song writer Fay White, will be sharing stories and music from across ancient cultures and traditions: Hindu, Christian, Jewish, Muslim and Buddhist.

All are welcome to come and enjoy this feast of story.

The event will take place at Daylesford Town Hall, and begins at 7:30pm, Friday October 24th.

Cost: $10 ($8 Concession). No need to book.

Hosted by the Network of Biblical Story Tellers (Aus/NZ) and Daylesford Uniting Church.
